So... today's meal has thoroughly frustrated me. I planned what was supposed to be an easy breezy crockpot meal that I can throw in and walk away from. The problem? My crockpot crocked out on me! Or should I say, my mom's crockpot did anyways. Yup. It was getting hot but not hot enough. I put my roast in the crockpot at 2pm on high and now it's 7:52pm and not cooked. So... we transferred the roast to a Pampered Chef deep covered baker and put it in the oven on 350 degrees. I particularly like this deep covered baker. It's stoneware and once you remove it from the oven it keeps things nice and warm! Not to mention it cooks things evenly.
So what went into my roast?
-A beef roast of course.
-Potatoes (I like a lot but I used about 8 medium sized potatoes.)
-Carrots (I used the pre-bagged ones and probably added a couple of cups worth.)
-Mushrooms (I used two small cans of mushrooms since my sister doesn't like mushrooms, otherwise I'd use more.)
-Onion (I simply chopped up one onion and dumped it in there.)
-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
-1 can of cream of mushroom soup.
-Some of the fresh parsley I chopped up the other day.
That's it. It makes a great winter meal. And, if your crockpot works like it's supposed to, you can just walk away from it. Probably if I had put it on much earlier it would have finally cooked through. I guess it's time to find my crockpot from storage! Otherwise, who knows how Chili night will be on Friday?
